2 thoughts on “E-cigarette maker Juul facing mounting scrutiny from state AGs

  1. Juul was inexplicably included in hundreds (maybe thousands) of school presentations around the country to smoking cessation – with a rapt audience primed for their product. Spare us the “children were never our target market”.

  2. This obsession with e-cigarettes and vaping just seems suspicious. I don’t smoke and I don’t vape but when you think about how many years they tried to get curbs to cigarettes and other tobacco products with literally reams and reams of medical research and evidence and still they aren’t illegal, just somewhat controlled.
    There isn’t any real research or evidence one way or the other on this product yet its being treated like a heroin epidemic and something that must be stamped out. When there is this much backing (advertising on a grand scale) for the elimination of this device, it just seems curious and very suspicious. If there is anything I have learned is that you just can’t trust people that seem to be selling you something (elimination of vaping) when you aren’t sure what it really is that they are selling.
